God Uses Who You Are

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 28, 2022

We need to get rid of the ill-fitting fashion, or armor, that we’ve tried to squeeze into that’s strangling the life out of us. We need to be who we are in Christ, and utilize our own special equipping. This is what David decided was best.

Have you ever felt as though you don’t quite know where God wants to use you, and you often feel awkward where you’re presently serving? Perhaps it’s because you’ve been pushed into an area of service that doesn’t suit how the Lord has made you and equipped you, and who you really are inside. ...read more

Receiving The Lord’s Chastening

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 8, 2022

God chastens us for our own good. However, usually, when we are going through His chastening we resist the Lord with all of our might. But this passage shows how it would be beneficial to receive the Lord’s chastening.

I have entitled our message this evening, “Receiving the Lord’s Chastening,” and I wish to begin by sharing an illustration entitled, “God’s Loving Kick”: A Norfolk-Southern train was rolling down the rails of Indiana at 24 miles per hour. Suddenly the conductor, Robert Mohr, spotted an object ...read more

True Biblical Prosperity

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 9, 2022

Prosperity is not based on what we possess but on who we are inside, or who we are spiritually. Prosperity is not determined by a lack of hard times, but by how we handle tough situations; by whether or not we maintain our joy.

I have entitled our message this evening “True Biblical Prosperity.” If there is “true” biblical teaching on prosperity, then there must also be “false” teaching. Therefore, I am going to briefly address the false teaching that’s out there, and then point out what the Bible defines as true ...read more

Living A Life Of Goodness And Peace And Joy In The Holy Spirit (How Christian Ought To Behave)

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Feb 24, 2022

To preserve the unity and influence of the church, believers must offer mutual acceptance in non-essentials of the Christian faith. They should also resist the temptation to judge one another or condemn one another for what we believe about non-essentials tenets of the faith.

Sermon “Living a Life of Goodness and Peace and Joy in the Holy Spirit” Scripture Lesson: Romans 14:1-17 “Accept other believers who are weak in faith, and don’t argue with them about what they think is right or wrong. 2 For instance, one person believes it’s all right to eat anything.

A Blessing To Tithe

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 27, 2022

Many of us are afraid to tithe, because we feel that we have too many financial obligations to spare anything. But, did you know that the Bible teaches that both our financial troubles and our daily trials will lessen or cease if we tithe?

Money can be a very frustrating thing, because you just never seem to have enough of it. Right? Comedian Bob Phillips says, “Money used to talk – then it whispered. Now it just sneaks off . . . [and] today a dollar saved is a quarter earned . . . [and] the economy is [just] terrible [right now]. ...read more
